Essay / It Happened One Night has won five most prestigious Academy Awards...
The film "It Happened One Night" is a milestone in cinema history as it became the first film to win Oscars in all five most prestigious nominations. . Since then, only two films have been able to repeat its success, namely "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Silence of the Lambs". Unlike these dramatic genre films, the film "It Happened One Night" is a 1934 romantic comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable in the lead roles. As in any other love story, the main characters are constantly hampered by numerous obstacles on the path to happiness. The film “It Happened One Night” is no exception; Mutual hostility, marriage and misunderstandings prevent Peter and Ellie from reuniting. One of the main barriers between the protagonists is the mutual dislike that arose from the first minutes of their acquaintance. Harassing Ellie on the spot, Peter Worn is rude, discourteous and suitably impetuous. In turn, Ellie prefers to refuse his help to throw the suitcase on the top shelf and shows her arrogance when Peter tries to take his suitcase away from a thief. It's obvious that in trying to hide who she really is, Ellie is forced to be tough and taciturn, and so Peter had the impression of Ellie as an "ungrateful brat". Additionally, Warne blackmails a millionaire's daughter, telling her that he will tell her where her father is if she doesn't give him an exclusive interview, which, of course, cannot garner any sympathy from Ellie. Such hostility towards each other is mainly linked to the significant difference between the protagonists in terms of social status, education and behavior. It is unlikely that under ordinary circumstances, people who are so opposed would have the chance to...... in the middle of the newspaper...... that the journalist just wants to receive his reward of ten thousand dollars. However, they drew premature conclusions about Peter's lust because he made the bill for only thirty-nine dollars and sixty cents. Such a misunderstanding would never have happened if the protagonists did not hide their feelings and express their thoughts and assumptions to each other. All barriers and obstacles, such as mutual dislike, marriage and misunderstandings, are symbolized in an improvised and sufficiently tangible "Walls of Jericho". between the protagonists of the film "It Happened One Night". After overcoming all these challenges, Peter and Ellie finally found their love and destroyed that "wall" in the final scene. The moral of this film is that if two people are truly made for each other, there is nothing impossible that can prevent them from being together...
